About Sage Femme

Nyree Wright

Nyree's career started following General Nurse training and working as a Neonatal Nurse in a London Hospital. An interest in Midwifery led to further training and the start of a strong passion for her work. Although Nyree enjoyed her NHS career she wanted to focus more on the individual needs of women and their families. Because of this strong desire to provide more individualised, personal care she started in Independent practice. Sage Femme was born!‍Nyree's nurturing manner and midwifery experience are the perfect combination for delivering truly woman-centred care.

She has given birth to five beautiful babies and experienced both good and bad maternity care. She uses these experiences as motivation to improve the care of her clients and to remember how vulnerable women can feel if their care is not holistic and compassionate.

Nyree has worked hard to ensure that clients have felt nurtured and listened to and the focus has been on enhancing experiences of maternity care so that they are positive even when birth plans have needed to change for clinical reasons. The start of any baby joining a family should be a wonderful, unique time in someones life and memorable for all the right reasons.

Nyree founded Sage Femme in 2006 following 11 years in the NHS. Nyree trained as a Hypnobirthing Instructor and teaches antenatal classes in North London. She has also completed the ALSO (Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics) and NLS (Newborn Life Support) courses.

Testimonials

Nadine

We really appreciated having you to guide us through my pregnancy. Having our appointments at home and being able to contact you in-between if necessary allowed us to feel so much more relaxed and to enjoy the experience. We knew we could ask you anything and you would be there to help us...

Constanza

I chose to use an independent midwife because I wanted to have continuity of care which isn't possible with the NHS. I wanted to get to know and trust one midwife throughout my pregnancy, who would then be present during labour. It was important to me that I be advised about possible interventions during labour by someone I could trust, thereby avoiding unnecessary procedures...

Alice

Having had two previous very long and hard labours in hospital, I wanted to hire a private midwife who would help me stay home as long as possible this time. I thought if I felt relaxed, the labour would potentially be shorter and happier. I had no intention of giving birth at home and wanted Nyree to accompany me to hospital for the birth itself. As I am profoundly deaf, it is extra important to have that trust and smooth communication...

Charlotte

I employed Nyree Wright's midwifery services from October 2015 until April 2016. I was having my first baby and decided to invest in an independent midwife for the continuity of care and the ability to be able to talk to someone anytime with questions or about problems. Nyree exceeded my expectations. She was very professional, kind and knowledgeable throughout. She always responded to my messages quickly...
